We were laughing
“Tapas”
What was it that we found so funny about that word
I wonder now as I lay by our favorite window seat
The rain tapping at the window
As if someone is calling to me
From somewhere far off
Splaying along the translucency
Like fingers spreading open to fit between mine
A body tired to retire
Not inspired n’or ire
Sorrow quells a fire
Happiness alone, says the liar
Maybe it was just the way that Spanish cuisine makes fancy snacks
But we were happy with just tea and Graham crackers
“Tapas”, we laughed with smoked salmon and cream cheese making a mess
Laughing because we weren’t even hungry and you were gesturing me to come change my wet clothes
Like a fish in the sea with no school to follow
The days of my youth and education have somehow left me lost
I no longer sleep in that room, I prefer the window seat on rainy days
Still in my wet clothes… I hope I catch a cold
